Technically, Deforest Kelly's Bones wasn't the first medical doctor in Enterprise. It was John Hoyt as Dr. Phillip Boyce. We saw his character in the two part episode The Menagerie. In fact, I think the captain even refers to the doctor as Bones at one point. I might be mistaken on this late part, but I vaguely remember captain Pike calling the doctor Bones.
I stopped watching after only a few episodes sad to say. I could not get over worrying about the dog, stupid I know, but the dog needed more attention than it got. The dog gave me anxiety so I stopped watching.
I think the lack of focus on the foundation was the issue. There was no authority in the show. There was also no conscience. Bakula's character was basically an adventuring kid.
The best part of these conventions is seeing the interactions of all the actors from the different shows and seeing their love and respect for each other and their shared understanding of the work that goes into making each show. They are all brilliant and wonderful people!
DS9 was ahead of its time and remains underrated. Gates McFadden’s point about geeks ruling current “pop” culture is spot on. And Robert Picardo is just a legend and remains one of the best ever Trek characters full stop.
There were some great trek characters from most of the shows. Garak was probably my favorite personally. I know this is an unpopular opinion because discovery isn't a great show but I think they at least did an amazing job with Seru. He is probably the best original star trek character since the doctor.
One of the BEST PANELS EVER! I love each and every one of those actors, for extremely different reasons. Each of their characters touched me in a special special way...probably because I ended up in the medical field, and idolized the science officers in Star Trek.
Chris Wright I never liked her character lol. Beverley was always my favorite doctor because she was more than a doc. She was a mom, doctor, friend, love to Picard, and, in her own way, a leader.
@Barnaby It's a free decision of medical officer you can make. Except if you are on a mission and no other medical officer is available. ;) Do what you want.
Dr. Pulaski also had a much longer history with Star Trek since she appeared as multiple characters on TOS. She looked very hot when she played Science Officer Dr. Ann Mulhall, and then again a much more intellectual character when she played Dr. Miranda Jones that turned out to be blind. All three characters she played in Star Trek were very different and she was wonderful in all of them.
especially his role on the Stargate franchise - from his first appearance early on SG1 to the final episode of Atlantis... his character had such an incredible story arc from antagonist to beloved team leader - and he played it so damn well and believable
Stefan Au Oh boy he was actually my favorite in that role. I loved how he was a man of the book, but as time went by even he could see that sometimes following the book is not the best choice. Sometimes following your own gut and breaking the rules is better. Fantastic actor and super charismatic person.😊
All the doctors on Star Trek were inspirational (including on Enterprise). All encouraged me to engage science and look at it through a moral lens. That inspiration has informed my professional life. Thank you all.
HyperGolem, just in case you weren't paying attention - Billingsley himself said, on this panel, that he objected to and didn't agree with some of the stories portrayed in the ENT series, particularly at least one ep. that strongly appeared to condone torture. He didn't have creative control over the plot of each episide. Doesn't mean there wasn't dodgy/flawed writing elsewhere though. Billingsley sounds like he has a fairly strong social conscience.
Nichelle Nichols mentioned in one of her interviews how very unconventional it was at the time for her character to exist. Gene Roddenberry's greatest gift to us all was the hope and compassion he believed the human race could one day aspire to have.
@@Shadowfire204 the other shows did it right. They just had everyone on it, when they broached the topic it was well done.

Damon Black Actresses cannot age or they don’t get jobs. People in the public eye especially women spend 1000’s upon 1000’s for personal trainers/chefs and plastic surgery to look ‘like fine wine’ its sad we have come to reward the ‘fake’ as the ideal :(
sad that a compliment about a woman's appearance spurns a tangential diatribe about societal expectations. Gates is a babe and she probably just takes care of herself because she's a stage actress and her career does depend on her physicality and fitness. get over yourself
Lisa Eichler-Johnson and some women just age quite well. My grandmother (currently shown as a hockey goalie circa 1928) was still looking younger than her years well into her 80s. I’ll grant that you are not entirely wrong in a general kind of way, but just because your comments might be applicable, doesn’t mean that it is always the case.
She's smokin'. It's not just her looks, but her continued engagement with the world around her, that keeps her young IMHO. I think Patrick Stewart has that same magic...it's not just genes or lifestyle. It's about still caring about what's happening now, and not constantly being mired in the past. I hope I'm like them when I grow up! ;-)
With respect to everyone commenting but Gates McFadden looks fake! She’s a walking advertisement for why cosmetic surgery is an awful idea. It’s absolutely tragic that such a beautiful woman felt the need, and I suspect pressure, to go the cosmetic route. It’s an indictment of a business, and to some extent a society, that can not accept the incredible natural beauty of older women and refuses to let them age with grace. I have no criticism of McFadden, she is responding to an obscene unfairness that can end careers because it can’t celebrate her talent as an actor and insists on judging her on how young she can look.
Thanks for sharing the panel, great to hear from the doctors. What happened to Bob Picardo's answer about working as an ambassador with NASA? There is a clear cut and his response was missed. Thank you.
@OriginalTharios Way to derail the actual topic. It always triggers a few who immediately lose focus on the initial question... So let's put it back on track. It doesn't matter who loved it or who hated it fanwise. Gates McFadden speaks positively about DS9 and that is a good thing. It was funny at first to hear Frakes and Sirtis make fun of it, but after a few years it only seemed salty for unknown reason to always mock DS9 in order to make TNG shine more. So yes, great to hear at least someone say something positive about it. I'd say Michael Dorn, Worf, and Brent Spiner or even Levar Burton might speak positively about DS9. ;)

I loved Star Trek: Enterprise. I especially liked the theme song and who didn't love Doctor Phlox and his ear to ear smiles. The show was basically about how the federation started. The Xindi and Temporal Cold War were my favorite story arcs of any Star Trek. It had a couple issues that I think are obvious, not quite enough character development and the overly sexualized scenes in the decontamination room.
Doctor Phlox is terribly underrated, as a character and as the actor who plays him. I enjoyed Enterprise but I can relate somewhat to its criticisms too. Apparently there was a lot of studio meddling (How many great shows and movies have been ruined because of that?)
@@JustWasted3HoursHere Phlox was awesome. If I had to rate the ST docs I would go: 1. Voy EMH, 2. Ent Phlox, 3. TNG Crusher, 4. TOS McCoy, 4. DS9 Bashir
Thank you so much for filming and uploading this panel for us! I live in Australia and wouldn't be able to see the panel otherwise. The last few minutes of Q& A were missing :( I know it's hard to film by hand, the jerky camera movements made it a bit hard to watch at times. I'm very appreciative though, thank you for uploading this!
It's a shame DeForest Kelly couldn't be there. The first doctor, and arguably the most key player for the series he was in. It might have been nice if the guy who plays Bones in the latest movies had shown up.
Deforest Kelley to me played the best doctor on Star Trek. He was perfect balance between Kirk and Spock. A cranky doctor who also was companionate. Kelley created McCoy and set the standard that the others could follow.
Richard Wielgosz Hmmm? Possibly some sort of legal something or another related to the replay-ability of UA-cam? Lose that short bit of audio or lose the entire video, kind of legal nonsense?
@@tanya5322 As far as I know, Creation Con prohibits taping of these shows anyway, because they sell their own videos afterward. This is all underground, not matter how flashy the opening banner for the video is. Plenty of other people tho record show the whole panels.
Lmao even the camera man kept the new guy out of frame to not remind anyone about Discovery. He gave the people what they wanted. Thank you for your service, sir.
Karl Urban is still a successful, working actor involved with money-making franchises He'll only do comic con, and that's a contractual obligation. (Just a educated guess.)
Thanks to Netflix, I've managed to binge everything I missed. Just finished Voyager today. Great conclusion. Janeway was such a boss in that last episode.
He did a great role in a two-parter on The Orville recently that was fantastic (The Orville has had many actor cameos and roles from different Star Trek alumni)
Why is it that Gay, LGBT, Feminists, Religious communities...etc have to make such a big statement about themselves and their position *all* *the* *time* ? This panel for example, do any of the other members boast incessantly about themselves personally and what their sexual orientation is? Do they constantly wave a big flag around? STD actor comes out and instantly has to make sure the entire convention center knows he's gay. Seriously? It's quite obvious without making a constant scene about it. That just comes off like some insecurity and it's completely unnecessary. How can something or someone be accepted if you cannot just hold a conversation and be normal without continually referencing it. Congratulations, you're gay....and your point? It's hard to gain acceptance when it's constantly FORCED. Where is the PRIDE in doing something that way? It just comes off as another agenda with the opposite desirability, it's not proper coexistence. That topic reaches far beyond just these topics too. We all have to change how we do things. No disrespect to anyone, but we should all be DIVERSE and not so CLICHE if we want to do this whole thing the right way. Forward...
Howdy ya'll, I did, and still enjoy watching " Enterprise " even if it's just clips, on UA-cam, I think it was a real shame, that the show was canceled after only 4 seasons, and the way in which they ended it, was a real slap in the face of the actor's who made that show Great.. Give the Enterprise crew/actor's, a movie deal, just look what it did for the original series, none of these people on stage right now, would be there, if it wasn't for the original series, given a movie deal, after being canceled, after only 3 seasons, just think what the crew/actor's of Enterprise could accomplish.. Thank you, Peace
@@lawrencehawkins7198 I do love DS9, but TOS was literally the only Trek until I was in college and I'll always love it. Part of the reason that of the following three treks next gen is my least favorite is because to me the first season felt so blatantly derivative of the original series. I never really forgave it for that.
Gates is lovely. Her last answer teared me up. I live in Vegas but haven't been to a con since 2006 (they got too big and too expensive). She's one of the very few actors from TOS-DS9 I have not spoken with. Now I think that's a shame. Picardo used to show up from time to time at Star Trek the Experience (RIP), to autograph for charity. He frequently wore a holo emitter on his sleeve. He is such a cutie. (And Billingsly's shirt makes me Love him: an ally!!)
He didn’t actually say he did but he didn’t say he had relations with his wives either. The fact of the matter is that it was implied. When he was talking to what’s her name about wether she would be able to accept his complicated cultural background in relation to her attempt to seek a romantic relationship with him he mentioned that he had both wives and husbands. You can take that at face value like he had multiple wives and they each had husbands or you could take that as he his wives husbands were also “his” husbands. Which I think was what was implied in the show. In a another episode later in the season when he is asked if he misses his family since he’s been away from them for over 2 years, he says that he missed his wives and (his wives) husbands. If his wives husbands were not apart of his relationship circle why would he miss them? Miss them how? I think his race were Polygamists that included both male and females. So instead of one husband having many wives, all the wives and the husbands were in the same relationship. Complicated I know. But that was the point.
Random factoid: I just watched The Hunt for Red October for the first time in years and saw that Gates McFadden is in it near the very beginning for about 10 seconds (as Jack Ryan's wife). She was sporting an english accent, too...
I like DS9 too, but I hoped someone would point out Babylon 5. Too bad Warner Bros didn't preserve the original recorded film. It was shot in WIDESCREEN before HDTV was a thing.
I understand what Alexander said about DS9 doing an arc-style show, rather than episodic, however, shows set on a starship can easily do episodic, since they're mobile. DS9 was a stationary object and could easily do arc-style over episodic and I rather enjoyed DS9.
DS9 3-8 and Star Trek Enterprise 3-4 is the best Star Trek ever made. My neighbor have all Trek on DVD and I borrowed it more than once. Bonus creds to the work by Seven of Nine, the Doctor from Voyager and Data from NG.
ME TOO, BIG-TIME..SEEING THE FIRST FEW SHOWS DOESN'T REALLY PREPARE YOU FOR THE LAST FEW, WITHOUT WATCHING IT ALL..THINGS HAVE CHANGED DRAMATICALLY, A LITTLE AT A TIME, OVER THE YEARS..
Alexander Siddig cites DS9, alongside Buffy and X Files as being the series that started ongoing serialised stories, but he misses out Babylon 5, which started its serialised story from day 1 and was beating DS9 in the ratings for the first few seasons. I’m a DS9 fan but that is a rather glaring omission.

@@idle-engineering Thanks, maybe I should watch that. I haven’t heard much good about it. Same with Enterprise, and I really like Enterprise. I make my own decision.
Why does the Discovery cast think that Discovery is new for its diversity? If thats all you got to say about your Trek you're not saying much because everything he mentioned about diversity and embracing differences and all that was done from the very beginning with TOS and every show after.
Ummm no. I am tired of all these straight romances on Star Trek. All these straight romances between major characters in Star Trek are all explored but not on other shows? Straight romances arc between straight people. What about gay people? Diversity? Are we watching the same shows? Are you not looking and seeing straight romances? T'Pol and Tucker. Riker and Troi. Kira and Odo. Belanna and Tom Paris. Gay people cant be in Starfleet? Gay people can't love each other? Are you so full of hate and bigotry? Tell me why a gay couple cannot explore their feelings on star trek?
Well, no, STD was not the first to show diversity, but they certainly took it a big, important step further. It's too bad the writing on the show is absolutely infantile, and make it an unbearably stupid show.
Where's Diana Muldaur?? To me, her portrayal of Doctor Pulaski was "Absolutely Believable & Exceptional." I loved season two of ST:TNG just for the very reason she was in it! Even though she only made two guest appearances on ST:TOS, to me she was a "Living Legend" and I considered her an extended member of the original cast. In honor of her, she should have been included in that panel. And, in my opinion, Diana's "Very Impressive, Hard Work" as the "Great Dr. Pulaski" was "Underappreciated, Underrated, And Totally Taken For Granted."
Would've been even more interesting if they could've got Karl Urban (the 'other' Bones McCoy) to come on. But even then my mind is preoccupied with how amazing Gates STILL looks........ and SOUNDS..... after all these years!
21:05 He's trolling us right? STD is so inconsistent it doesn't even remember what happened at the beginning of the episode, let alone last episode or at the beginning of the season.
Enterprise was a much better show than Discovery. Discovery is a preachy, badly conceived, destroyer-of-the-history-of-ST piece of trash. Even the Orville is a much better show than Discovery.
You realize the show is doing extremely well, and has had very good ratings since the midddle of Season 1. It's all in your mind that you think it's killing it.
Trek has been fortunate to have some great talents portraying their respective shows doctor's. I can't pick a second favorite (McCoy being my favorite) because they each had great personalities. Maybe Picardo's gets the edge because he was so funny while being so relatable, cool trick since he was an AI, but Phlox was a hoot. One thing they all have in common is that I'd feel I was in good hands with any of them as my physician.
Star Trek Enterprise was heavily underrated...only because it had the most attractive cast of all shows people quickly assumed that it was kinda superficial, but most of the episodes were incredibly well written and produced...and obviously it was the first Trek in HD and widescreen format!
WTF is with the sound track cheering? In the first minute when they are introduced, it is clearly audible the cheering is edited in and is a cut blend instead of a fade blend. Whoever added in the fake cheer track sucks. It would be better to just have the original audience cheers with no added sound track. Sounds like a 1970's cheep game show cheer track. Fans who come here want to see authentic actors and experience it as if they were there. The cheap added cheer track detracts from the experience.
Sad that D Kelly and the Doctor from the original pilot episode with Jeffrey Hunter can’t be there. Maybe they’re present in spirit, like Aaron Eisenberg and Leonard Nimoy?
It’s so interesting how much the actors are like the characters they played on their respective shows (personalities, even personal insights). Might be intentional, maybe not!
All this talk about diversity and i can't help but think that had things gone a different way Garak would have been the first pansexual character on Star trek. Andrew Robinson, who played Garak, wanted him to be pan. If you watch Past Prologue (ep 3 of DS9) Garak really is hitting on Bashir. The producers told Robinson not to do that again. Sad. :(
The producers admit that in the DS9 documentary. Worth watching. It's streaming on Amazon prime. (Mind you, nothing like it comes up in Andy's brilliant Garak book, A Stitch in Time. (Fanfic has been running with it forever--as I'm sure you are aware.)
TNG actually touched on transgender and sexuality by introducing the trill, joined species, who Dr. Crusher had a romantic relationship with as a man but which failed when the character became female. Then you had trill in DS9 in the form of the "Old Man" who became the young woman Judzia Dax. All before Dr. Flox.
Thank You to Bones, no medical officer would be on this stage without him.
RIP Deforest Kelly
The only Doctor that's not on stage.
@Barnaby True make that one only of two Doctors not on stage.
Technically, Deforest Kelly's Bones wasn't the first medical doctor in Enterprise. It was John Hoyt as Dr. Phillip Boyce. We saw his character in the two part episode The Menagerie.

I mute the theme music for every ST show. It is either pompous orchestra music (or Enterprise's horrible hillbilly folk music).
I liked Enterprise too! Dr.Phlox was such a great character! So funny!😊
Doctor Phlox is terribly underrated, as a character and as the actor who plays him. I enjoyed Enterprise but I can relate somewhat to its criticisms too. Apparently there was a lot of studio meddling (How many great shows and movies have been ruined because of that?)
@@JustWasted3HoursHere Phlox was awesome. If I had to rate the ST docs I would go: 1. Voy EMH, 2. Ent Phlox, 3. TNG Crusher, 4. TOS McCoy, 4. DS9 Bashir

Thank you so much for filming and uploading this panel for us! I live in Australia and wouldn't be able to see the panel otherwise.
The last few minutes of Q& A were missing :(
I know it's hard to film by hand, the jerky camera movements made it a bit hard to watch at times. I'm very appreciative though, thank you for uploading this!
man gates still looks fine as hell
I had to go look up how old she is. I don't think IMDB's right - she can't be 70.

R.I.P. Deforest Kelley(Bones) Greatest of all of the Star Trek doctors. "This isn't apart of my program. "I'm a doctor, not a doorstop."
It's a shame DeForest Kelly couldn't be there. The first doctor, and arguably the most key player for the series he was in. It might have been nice if the guy who plays Bones in the latest movies had shown up.
I think Star Trek Now is pretty divorced from the tv shows, and I'm glad...the tv shows are the heart
Flox was really my favorite character on Enterprise.
You should know his name is spelled "Phlox"
I absolutely adore John Billingsly and his honest candor ❤️
And he seems to have chemistry with Bob Picardo. I can see why they did a cameo together on 'The Orville.'
Deforest Kelley to me played the best doctor on Star Trek. He was perfect balance between Kirk and Spock. A cranky doctor who also was companionate. Kelley created McCoy and set the standard that the others could follow.
\Was extra crowd noise inserted into this video or something? It sounds very strange, and doesn't align with the cuts.
Why would you edit out the part where Picardo talked about his involvement with JPL?

Lmao even the camera man kept the new guy out of frame to not remind anyone about Discovery. He gave the people what they wanted. Thank you for your service, sir.
The only people we’re missing are Karl Urban, and Diana Muldaur.
No, we are are really NOT missing Karl Urban. Dr McCoy was played by DeForest Kelly, and ONLY DeForest Kelly. There was only ONE Dr. McCoy. ONE.
Karl Urban is still a successful, working actor involved with money-making franchises He'll only do comic con, and that's a contractual obligation. (Just a educated guess.)
I loved every one of these shows in their own style, DS9 is my favorite. I watch one of these every day, thanks to Netflix.
Don’t expect that to last long.
Me too, they are on Amazon Prime too.
Thanks to Netflix, I've managed to binge everything I missed. Just finished Voyager today. Great conclusion. Janeway was such a boss in that last episode.
Heros and Icons (H&I) broadcasts one episode of TOS, TNG, DS9, Voyager, and Enterprise Sunday thur Friday starting at 7 pm central

Hope we see Robert Picardo in the Picard series.
He's a doctor, not a cameo. JK I hope so as well.
They've already said I believe he's in for season 2
He did a great role in a two-parter on The Orville recently that was fantastic (The Orville has had many actor cameos and roles from different Star Trek alumni)
Why is it that Gay, LGBT, Feminists, Religious communities...etc have to make such a big statement about themselves and their position *all* *the* *time* ? This panel for example, do any of the other members boast incessantly about themselves personally and what their sexual orientation is? Do they constantly wave a big flag around? STD actor comes out and instantly has to make sure the entire convention center knows he's gay. Seriously? It's quite obvious without making a constant scene about it. That just comes off like some insecurity and it's completely unnecessary. How can something or someone be accepted if you cannot just hold a conversation and be normal without continually referencing it. Congratulations, you're gay....and your point? It's hard to gain acceptance when it's constantly FORCED. Where is the PRIDE in doing something that way? It just comes off as another agenda with the opposite desirability, it's not proper coexistence. That topic reaches far beyond just these topics too. We all have to change how we do things. No disrespect to anyone, but we should all be DIVERSE and not so CLICHE if we want to do this whole thing the right way.
Forward...
Howdy ya'll,
I did, and still enjoy watching " Enterprise " even if it's just clips, on UA-cam, I think it was a real shame, that the show was canceled after only 4 seasons, and the way in which they ended it, was a real slap in the face of the actor's who made that show Great.. Give the Enterprise crew/actor's, a movie deal, just look what it did for the original series, none of these people on stage right now, would be there, if it wasn't for the original series, given a movie deal, after being canceled, after only 3 seasons, just think what the crew/actor's of Enterprise could accomplish..
Thank you, Peace
Whatever happened to the Black doctor who was the Vulcan Medicine specialist?
Are you talking about M'benga from TOS? If so, that's a deep cut (and we'd probably get along). If not, I'm just too senile to remember all of TNG.
@@sharpeslass5452 Star Trek. 1966 - 1960. The One. The Only.
@@lawrencehawkins7198 I do love DS9, but TOS was literally the only Trek until I was in college and I'll always love it. Part of the reason that of the following three treks next gen is my least favorite is because to me the first season felt so blatantly derivative of the original series. I never really forgave it for that.
@@lawrencehawkins7198 also I think there's a quantum time flux in your dates .. 🤔
Gates is lovely. Her last answer teared me up. I live in Vegas but haven't been to a con since 2006 (they got too big and too expensive). She's one of the very few actors from TOS-DS9 I have not spoken with. Now I think that's a shame. Picardo used to show up from time to time at Star Trek the Experience (RIP), to autograph for charity. He frequently wore a holo emitter on his sleeve. He is such a cutie. (And Billingsly's shirt makes me Love him: an ally!!)
I don’t recall Plox ever referring to having relations with his wives other husbands. Only that he had wives and they had other husbands.
He didnt. Hes just pandering. Too bad because I liked Enterprise.
Who is Plox? OHHHHHH, you mean Dr Phlox.... And yes, it IS bad fucking spelling. Just imagine if everyone was using the word Pikard.....
He didn’t actually say he did but he didn’t say he had relations with his wives either. The fact of the matter is that it was implied. When he was talking to what’s her name about wether she would be able to accept his complicated cultural background in relation to her attempt to seek a romantic relationship with him he mentioned that he had both wives and husbands. You can take that at face value like he had multiple wives and they each had husbands or you could take that as he his wives husbands were also “his” husbands. Which I think was what was implied in the show. In a another episode later in the season when he is asked if he misses his family since he’s been away from them for over 2 years, he says that he missed his wives and (his wives) husbands. If his wives husbands were not apart of his relationship circle why would he miss them? Miss them how? I think his race were Polygamists that included both male and females. So instead of one husband having many wives, all the wives and the husbands were in the same relationship. Complicated I know. But that was the point.
SOME ACTORS HAVE A REAL PROBLEM SEPARATING REAL LIFE FROM ACTING LIFE..I DON'T RECALL IT EITHER..I THINK HE WAS JUST TELLING ON 'HIMSELF', LOL..
Random factoid: I just watched The Hunt for Red October for the first time in years and saw that Gates McFadden is in it near the very beginning for about 10 seconds (as Jack Ryan's wife). She was sporting an english accent, too...
She is the reason why I watch this movie everytime it is aired. And everytime I am like "YEAH ! BEVERLY !" :-)
That look on Siddig's face is priceless
When?
When it comes to long form story arcs. The begining was the dawn of the third age of mankind... Welcome to Babylon 5
B5's doc was pretty cool too!
I like DS9 too, but I hoped someone would point out Babylon 5. Too bad Warner Bros didn't preserve the original recorded film. It was shot in WIDESCREEN before HDTV was a thing.
I LIKED ''BATTLESTAR GALACTICA'', TOO..
I understand what Alexander said about DS9 doing an arc-style show, rather than episodic, however, shows set on a starship can easily do episodic, since they're mobile. DS9 was a stationary object and could easily do arc-style over episodic and I rather enjoyed DS9.
DS9 3-8 and Star Trek Enterprise 3-4 is the best Star Trek ever made.
My neighbor have all Trek on DVD and I borrowed it more than once.
Bonus creds to the work by Seven of Nine, the Doctor from Voyager and Data from NG.
ME TOO, BIG-TIME..SEEING THE FIRST FEW SHOWS DOESN'T REALLY PREPARE YOU FOR THE LAST FEW, WITHOUT WATCHING IT ALL..THINGS HAVE CHANGED DRAMATICALLY, A LITTLE AT A TIME, OVER THE YEARS..
Alexander Siddig cites DS9, alongside Buffy and X Files as being the series that started ongoing serialised stories, but he misses out Babylon 5, which started its serialised story from day 1 and was beating DS9 in the ratings for the first few seasons. I’m a DS9 fan but that is a rather glaring omission.

And security, etc!
Who comes out at 6:31? I haven’t watched any Star Trek after Enterprise, I’m guessing he’s from one of those.
He‘s Discovery‘s Doctor
@@idle-engineering Thanks, maybe I should watch that. I haven’t heard much good about it. Same with Enterprise, and I really like Enterprise. I make my own decision.
Why does the Discovery cast think that Discovery is new for its diversity? If thats all you got to say about your Trek you're not saying much because everything he mentioned about diversity and embracing differences and all that was done from the very beginning with TOS and every show after.
Ummm no. I am tired of all these straight romances on Star Trek. All these straight romances between major characters in Star Trek are all explored but not on other shows? Straight romances arc between straight people. What about gay people? Diversity? Are we watching the same shows? Are you not looking and seeing straight romances? T'Pol and Tucker. Riker and Troi. Kira and Odo. Belanna and Tom Paris. Gay people cant be in Starfleet? Gay people can't love each other? Are you so full of hate and bigotry? Tell me why a gay couple cannot explore their feelings on star trek?
Well, no, STD was not the first to show diversity, but they certainly took it a big, important step further. It's too bad the writing on the show is absolutely infantile, and make it an unbearably stupid show.
Thanks for sharing.
"Season 6 and 7 of DS9 was way ahead of it's time." So true!
Best Trek, and one of the best shows ever.
Where's Diana Muldaur?? To me, her portrayal of Doctor Pulaski was "Absolutely Believable & Exceptional." I loved season two of ST:TNG just for the very reason she was in it! Even though she only made two guest appearances on ST:TOS, to me she was a "Living Legend" and I considered her an extended member of the original cast. In honor of her, she should have been included in that panel. And, in my opinion, Diana's "Very Impressive, Hard Work" as the "Great Dr. Pulaski" was "Underappreciated, Underrated, And Totally Taken For Granted."
Agreed🖖
Awesome session, awesome Star Trek doctor cast and awesome entertaind audiences.
John Billingsley: We ruined Star Trek
right after
Wilson Cruz: Hold my beer!
BTW: i for one enjoyed most of ENT
Why isn't John Billingsly in the title?
Unfortunetly no, DeForest Kelley who had passed away in 1999.
Would've been even more interesting if they could've got Karl Urban (the 'other' Bones McCoy) to come on. But even then my mind is preoccupied with how amazing Gates STILL looks........ and SOUNDS..... after all these years!
21:05 He's trolling us right? STD is so inconsistent it doesn't even remember what happened at the beginning of the episode, let alone last episode or at the beginning of the season.
Star Trek Enterprise was not perfect but it fits well into the timeline. Discovery is the show thats killing star trek
Enterprise was a much better show than Discovery. Discovery is a preachy, badly conceived, destroyer-of-the-history-of-ST piece of trash. Even the Orville is a much better show than Discovery.
S. U.everything JJ Abrams’ touches turns to shit. Star Wars is dying also
You realize the show is doing extremely well, and has had very good ratings since the midddle of Season 1. It's all in your mind that you think it's killing it.
The fans are what kill the franchises these days, not bad writers/directors (Nemesis) or idiot executives (Enterprise). Sad really.
Trek has been fortunate to have some great talents portraying their respective shows doctor's. I can't pick a second favorite (McCoy being my favorite) because they each had great personalities. Maybe Picardo's gets the edge because he was so funny while being so relatable, cool trick since he was an AI, but Phlox was a hoot. One thing they all have in common is that I'd feel I was in good hands with any of them as my physician.
Thank you for posting this..
The EMH was the first hologram that added something to his program ;)
arguably Moriarty was
Jarsia Nice yeah, arguably- was kinda added too him rather than by him
@@jameswest4692 at first yes. But I think after he became self aware he started to take over that process.
Jarsia I knew you were going to say that.
Moriarty was aware of the arch and everything BEFORE Geordi had the computer raise his intelligence
Who is the dude that came out on stage @6:45??
The Doctor on the USS Discovery.
When does the series Star Trek Medical start!
Great Idea Why not x
I hope Alexander Siddig still play Darts 🎯.
No Ethan Phillip's, Neelix?
Neelix wasn't a doctor.
Remembet Bashir Played/Acted in Games of Thrones and has Matured as an actor with Knowing...
I loved all the doctors!
Digital privacy issues and social media would be interesting things to see Trek grapple with.
Star Trek Enterprise was heavily underrated...only because it had the most attractive cast of all shows people quickly assumed that it was kinda superficial, but most of the episodes were incredibly well written and produced...and obviously it was the first Trek in HD and widescreen format!
Seen it to the end buddy! Good day :)
When the camera flashes light up Gates’s eyes I understand that true beauty exists.
Do have the voyager panel too??
Wish i'd made it to this one. I was in Las Vegas for Defcon the week after, so missed it by a week.
Enterprise was trending during the last two years on Netflix. I agree that it just was aired at the wrong time.
This inspired me to be a genetically modified holographic black fat bisexual doctor, secretly in love with my captain.
I wonder what discovery added to your description
Wherever that came from, it sounds delicious.
WTF is with the sound track cheering? In the first minute when they are introduced, it is clearly audible the cheering is edited in and is a cut blend instead of a fade blend. Whoever added in the fake cheer track sucks. It would be better to just have the original audience cheers with no added sound track. Sounds like a 1970's cheep game show cheer track. Fans who come here want to see authentic actors and experience it as if they were there. The cheap added cheer track detracts from the experience.
And if the terrible edits weren't enough of a clue, it's kind of suspicious that the guitar player is jamming away and not making any noise. ;)
Sad that D Kelly and the Doctor from the original pilot episode with Jeffrey Hunter can’t be there. Maybe they’re present in spirit, like Aaron Eisenberg and Leonard Nimoy?
yep. when I finally started liking John Billingsley as doctor Phlox the show was cancelled, lol.
Star Trek has always had diversity. Discovery seems more to have an agenda.
Skyfall 007 exactly right.
All of the shows addressed current issues through their stories, but from what I gather Discovery does it more in your face than the other show did
It's a lot less impactful this way..just trendy wokeness without substance sadly. Especially compared to the other series! (With the exception of tos)
OMG! I love them all, and they all look fabulous. Each Star Trek doctors have a special place and bonds all Star Trek shows together. I love them all.
It’s so interesting how much the actors are like the characters they played on their respective shows (personalities, even personal insights).
Might be intentional, maybe not!
NOT ALL OF THEM..'TROI' IS AN EXACT OPPOSITE OF MARINA IN REAL LIFE..'PICARD' WAS A STUFFED-SHIRT ACTOR, DOES A LOT OF 'SILLY' THINGS IN REAL LIFE..
This so awesome.
Thanks!
Im a Trek Fan Throughout yet Picard series watched 3 episodes so far AM NOT OVERLY IMPRESSED HAS PATRICK STEWART HAD A STROKE RECENTLY ?
All this talk about diversity and i can't help but think that had things gone a different way Garak would have been the first pansexual character on Star trek. Andrew Robinson, who played Garak, wanted him to be pan. If you watch Past Prologue (ep 3 of DS9) Garak really is hitting on Bashir. The producers told Robinson not to do that again. Sad. :(
The producers admit that in the DS9 documentary. Worth watching. It's streaming on Amazon prime. (Mind you, nothing like it comes up in Andy's brilliant Garak book, A Stitch in Time. (Fanfic has been running with it forever--as I'm sure you are aware.)
I fucking LOVE Gates' hair!!!
Really loved seeing Wilson Cruz in this! Everyone seemed so nice and well-spoken, wish I could have been there!
Thank you SO MUCH for filming and uploading this!!!
Gates McFadden is such a truly wonderful person
TNG actually touched on transgender and sexuality by introducing the trill, joined species, who Dr. Crusher had a romantic relationship with as a man but which failed when the character became female. Then you had trill in DS9 in the form of the "Old Man" who became the young woman Judzia Dax. All before Dr. Flox.
And the J'naii
No Dr Phlox. It was Discovery that killed Star Trek and not, Enterprise.
